You can use GhostScript, available at ftp.cs.wisc.edu in the /ghost/aladdin
directory.  It's free software, but they use a different license than GPL. 
GhostScript used to be "just print/view a readable document" tool.  However
the latest distribution includes a set of commercial quality type-1 fonts,
making very nice printed document.  The screen viewer is still less than
perfect.
